The petroleum ministry will be one of the most challenging ministries in the context of globally rising POL prices triggered in the wake of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<br \/>\nOn Friday, in his presser along with former finance minister Miftah Ismail, Abbasi flayed previous PTI government for selling cheap petrol saying no country in the world was selling petrol cheaper than its original cost.<br \/>\nHe said that the newly-installed government was facing challenges due to mismanagement of previous PTI government which was selling petrol at Rs149 thus draining national exchequer.<br \/>\nFormer prime minister Imran Khan in the last week of February announced to freeze petrol prices till June and due to PTI government\u2019s policy of keeping the petroleum products\u2019 rates fixed, the remaining Rs35 billion were paid through the national exchequer.<br \/>\n\u201cIf the rates are kept the same till June, then the government will have to pay Rs240 billion through its own resources PTI fixed the rate to gain cheap publicity,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nEarlier this week, Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority sent the working out for the increase in the prices of petroleum products to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif suggesting a record increase of Rs51.32 per litre in the price of high-speed diesel, Rs 21.30 per litre in petrol price, Rs36.5 per litre in the price of kerosene and Rs38.89 per litre in the price of light diesel.
